Speech Therapy Near Me for the R Sound: Unlock Your Child’s Speech Success with Peggy’s Home Run Program

If you’ve been searching for “speech therapy near me”, “child speech therapists in Lansing MI”, “Vermont Speech Therapy for kids”, or online speech therapy services, you’re not alone. Many parents notice that their child struggles with certain speech sounds, especially the hard R sound, and aren’t sure where to turn.

At Peggy’s Speech Therapy, I help children, teens, young adults, and adults overcome speech challenges using personalized, evidence-based strategies—whether in-person or online. One of the most common hurdles I see is the R sound, and that’s why I created the Home Run Speech - R Program, a step-by-step system designed to make practice easy, effective, and even fun.

This program includes worksheets, activities, play, coaching services, and more. It helps both SLPs, SLP assistants, and parents guide their kids to round home base and successfully start saying the hard R sound at home and in everyday life.

Why Can’t My Child Say R Sounds?

Understanding the R Sound Challenge

The R sound is one of the most challenging sounds for children to master. It requires precise tongue placement and coordination, which can be difficult for young learners. Left untreated, it can affect self-confidence and overall communication skills well into the teen years and adulthood.

That’s where a dedicated child speech therapist and a structured program can make all the difference. Parents working together with a seasoned SLP is crucial for creating the automaticity of saying R. This means they can say the R sound without thinking hard about it beforehand. With the right guidance and consistent practice, children can finally overcome the hard R sound and communicate clearly and confidently.

A Home-Based Solution for Hard R Sound Speech Therapy: the Home Run Speech - R Program

The Home Run Speech - R Program is perfect for both parents and SLPs who want expert guidance with daily practice. Whether your child is already making progress in the ballpark or still has a few sounds stuck at first base, this system helps round the bases toward clear speech.

Here’s How It Works:

• Speech Sound Analysis: We start by identifying your child’s specific R sound challenges.

• Custom Plan: A personalized set of goals and strategies is developed.

• Practical Tools: Parents receive step-by-step strategies and materials, updated as progress is made.

• Ongoing Support: Progress is monitored with regular check-ins via a HIPAA-compliant video app.

• Direct Access: I’m just a text away for questions and guidance.

  
  

Parents love that it’s easy to integrate into home routines or homeschool schedules. Fellow speech-language pathologists appreciate how simple it is to incorporate into their therapy sessions.
